I love getting to meet new people, and I love that I have so man clients come to me from so far away!  This group hailed from as far away as New Jersey (and a few other places as well, I believe). They were gathering at Surfside Colony in Seal Beach for the first week of August, and I was more than happy to take some large extended family group portraits as well as individual and smaller family portraits.  To make it easier on everyone, I just came to where they were staying on the beach (although I did get lost twice on my way, which made things interesting!) We had virtually the whole beach to ourselves! The only real bummer was that we weren’t able to get the top down on the convertible the grandkids wanted a picture in with their grandparents. Other than that, everything was just picture perfect! Enjoy your Sneak Peek!

After finishing studio portraits in their Huntington Beach  home (see previous post), we decided to venture out to the beach for some more casual, relaxed portraits.  But our usual sunny August weather was quickly disappearing as a huge & ominous cloud bank came rolling in from the South. We headed North away from Huntington Beach toward Seal Beach and stopped at such a lovely new location just beyond the Seal Beach Pier at River’s End.  I loved the little pile of sand dunes with tufts of sea grass growing on them – it gave it a real Eastern seaboard feel… And we certainly had some dramatic skies to work with – we barely beat out the monstrously dark cloud bank in time to get a few priceless shots (I’ve included a shot of that at the bottom of the post, as it was quite impressive).  The older two Lhasa Apso dogs came with us to complete the family portraits.  They were quite darling additions!  Enjoy your sneak peek! Gallery will be up today as well!
